[Crown and bridgework prostheses. A survey of the literature].

From 1975 to 1977, 20 dental journals of German, Anglo-American, French and Scandinavian origin were examined for articles concerning crowns and bridges. 286 articles specifically concerned fixed prosthetics, and certain subjects were treated more than others (metal ceramics, relation between restorations and periodontium). It was attempted to give a survey of articles that were clinically oriented, which permitted to reduce the number of articles reviewed.

Faculty evaluation at the University of Kentucky.

Faculty at the University of Kentucky College of Dentistry are now evaluated through the use of a negotiated Distribution of Effort Agreement. This document, negotiated at the beginning of each academic year, must satisfy both department objectives and the professional and personal requirements of the individual faculty member. It may be modified during the year if both the faculty member and his department chairman agree to the change. This document states work objectives for the year similar to learning objectives in a course. At the end of the year, each faculty member is evaluated on how well he has met his individual objectives. Information relevant to teaching, university service, and student service is gathered by college administrators and forwarded to department chairmen. Together with information on research accomplishment, these data are used by the chairman in the evaluation of each faculty member. The college has clearly charged department chairmen with the direct responsibility for faculty evaluation. The Appointments, Promotions, and Tenure Committee also plays a role in faculty development and evaluation by recommending to the dean ways of improving individual faculty performance.

[Interviews with Norwegian dentists about continuing education].

A representative, nationwide sample comprising 50 dentists in Norway was surveyed through personal interviews concerning their opinions on and need for postgraduate education. The reports clearly indicated that the professional challenges are changing rapidly as a result of improved treatment habits and dental health among most patients and that continuing dental education should adjust to the new situation. Most interviewers were satisfied with the courses presently offered, but they nevertheless wanted more of them, particularly in oral medicine and surgery, prosthetics, prevention and community dentistry. Scientific papers abounding with statistics and histology were suggested to be reduced in the Norwegian Dental Journal, and should be replaced by practical review papers. Social motives for attending professional meetings were common, the dentists said they learned much of practical value and picked up news in conversations with colleagues. Improved contacts with the dental schools was desired. Concerning undergraduate education, a prevailing view was that too much time was devoted to basic sciences as opposed to clinical- and community dentistry. The attitude towards compulsary continuing education was ambiguous, conceivably a reflection of the two different professional ideals: high standards and autonomy.

Dental caries indices for primary teeth: the need to comply with internatioanl recommendations.

This paper illustrates inconsistent use of abbreviations in indices employed to assess caries prevalence and incidence in the primary dentition. Possible consequences of this practice are discussed and it is suggested that authors, editoris and referees for dental journals should accept and adhere to internationally agreed upon definitions of these indices. As long as there is disagreement on the use of the dmf and def indices these initials should be defined under "methods".
